Create a little fun to your drinks by using your crochet shamrocks as a straw topper. You can attach them to a straw using thin craft wire or tie them on with string or twine. I’ve attached mine to two gold eco metal straws using thin wire.

Send someone a little luck by attaching a crochet shamrock to a tag. Perfect to use when you want to wish someone good luck. Whether you pop this in the post as it is or attach to a gift to let someone know you’re thinking of them. I’ve attached my crochet shamrock to a brown luggage tag and created the good luck writing using my Cricut.

Who doesn’t love a fun crochet brooch? Simply add your crochet shamrock to a pin of your choice you can either sew a safety pin onto the back of your shamrock, glue a brooch fixture to the back using a hot glue gun or slide the pin through the shamrock and directly through your clothing to hold in place. These crochet brooches are so quick and easy to make.

These cute little motifs make great table decorations, whether you scatter them on your table or attach them to ribbon or yarn of your choice to make bunting. I have attached these shamrocks to paintbox recycled metallic ribbon in gold. Alternatively you can attach them together with a crocheted chain or glue them directly onto twine or string.
